A CELEBRITY chef has lent his support to a healthy eating campaign for North Wales youngsters launched at a Llandudno school earlier this week.

Phil Vickery (pictured), who currently appears on the TV shows This Morning and Ready Steady Cook, gave his support to the North Wales stage of the nationwide Phil’s Cooking Academy campaign, which was launched at Ysgol John Bright on Monday, March 23.

“This campaign to get people cooking good, healthy food is especially important in rural areas like North Wales, because in a lot of the smaller villages people can’t just simply pop out to the supermarket to get easy and convenient food,” he said.

“Although culinary standards in the UK have got worse in recent years, I think making great dishes is simply a matter of educating people. You’ve got to know where to start. The venture, which is being launched at 28 schools across the UK, has also received the backing of discount supermarket chain Aldi and Children’s Secretary Ed Balls.
